A short video based on value was shown to all undergraduate and postgraduate semesters of the Zoology Department for their personality development. The theme of the video was ” Disability is not an obstacle to success “.

This video was about two persons, one who was a physically fit beggar and another physically handicapped hard working one.  Disabled man was working for earning his livelihood and was also kind-hearted and gave the beggar bananas to eat. This inspired the abled person to stop begging and start earning for livelihood. Students learned from the video that disability is the state of mind. Mental disorders can make even a physically fit person useless. Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything in their life. Physical disability is not a barrier for doing anything. It’s our will and determination that decides our capabilities. Humans can lack resources, but they can definitely have the power to mobilize resources. Always helps and empathizes with others.
